4.4

SATNAV FOR BUSES AND TRAINSNow you can get full step-by-step directions when you plan a trip. When you bring up a trip, you’ll see a new purple arrow icon. Tap on it and get full directions which update as you move through your journey. Even better, we’ve added an ‘On Trip’ button on the home screen so you can always get back to your current trip.

FASTER SEARCHWe’ve worked hard to make searching for places, stops and stations faster.

PRIVACY OPTIONSIn the More tab, we’ve added new options to erase your search history and to erase all your personal settings (Favorites, Recent Trips etc.) from the app.

BETTER TRAIN LIVE PROGRESS SCREENWe’ve added duration and the train operator to the train Live Progress screen for your convenience.

4.3

INSTANT ARRIVAL BOARDSIf you're like us, you might have a couple of favourite routes in the morning - each going from different stops and stations. It was a pain tapping one station, looking at its arrivals board, then coming back to the map and doing the same again and again.

So we've made it easier. Tap on a stop or station on the map and we'll show you the name of the stop, the routes that stop there and the next five arrivals. If you want to see further into the future, just tap on the bubble to bring up the full arrival board. Easy!

BETTER ROUTE MAPSIn the list view, we'll show you all connections at each stop - color-coded to make life easier.

NEW TRAIN TRIP TRACKINGWe've re-engineered train times - just tap on a train arrival to bring up a nice, easy-to-follow list with a moving train icon.

Finally... if you can spare a moment, and you like this app, help us out and leave a review on the App Store. It helps other people find the app and helps fund future development. Thanks!

Aug 22, 2016

Move your favorites, alarms and of course a few bug fixes!

ALARMSTap on any arrival to bring up a list of stops that bus or train will arrive at – you can also set an alarm for each stop. Once you approach that stop, you’ll get an alert on your phone in time to get ready to leave – perfect for late night naps!

Also, each timetable now has alarms – just tap on a time and we’ll send you an alert 15 minutes and 5 minutes before the bus arrives at that time. On a night out? Just set an alarm and sit back knowing you’ll be notified long before the last bus of the night.

4.1

Aug 9, 2016

Live vehicles on a map – just tap on an arrival time to see where the vehicle is right now and when it will arrive at each stop. There’s much more to come so send in your suggestions – just tap on the ‘More’ tab and drop us a line!

Normally great but lately...

Lately the app has been acting up. AC Transit times are often incorrect. Location services currently aren’t working. App trying to give recommendations for greyhound rather than BART. Maybe it’s because of recent updates, but I really hope it goes back to the way it worked before. It was the best way to find out how to get from point A to point B. Now... not so much.

Not Reliable

I’ve been using this to get around bc I am visiting since 2 months and tried using it to get from SF to both Marin and east bay.

When it works it’s great but it is not reliable, always double check with google maps because I’ve gotten to a stop and the app no longer shows the next leg. Entire bus lines are listed one moment gone the next. Very frustrating.

Which bus?!?!!????

This app used to work around two weeks ago and then all of a sudden it didn’t. When you look for a bus route it just gives you a five digit number, which seems to be the stop number, but it does not give you an actual bus number or letter so you have no idea what bus to look for!
